Hasbulla Magomedov has branded Paulo Costa "as bad as Conor McGregor" after the UFC star took to social media to slam the Russian social media sensation.
The Brazilian middleweight is one of a rare few fighters who have taken a public stance against the Russian, telling fans in a recent tweet that he feels people who enjoy him are "weird people". McGregor has taken a similar position and declared that he wanted to kick Hasbulla like a football after watching him prank a number of celebrities.
However, the 3'3" influencer has a number of supporters in the fight game, and recently signed an ambassadorial contract with the UFC. Alexander Volkanovski and Khabib Nurmagomedov are two of his biggest celebrity fans, while he has also appeared in the cage with lightweight title contender Islam Makhachev.
